Technical Property Interpretations
- Density (0.944 g/cm³): Calibrated medium-high density structure delivering balanced structural stiffness, high creep resistance, and coilability for medium-diameter pipe lines.
- MFI (0.33 g/10 min @ 5.0 kg / HLMFI 6.0 g/10 min @ 21.6 kg): Fractional melt flow provides high melt strength that prevents parison sag during the extrusion of thick-walled pipes.
- Ultimate Elongation (> 1000%): Demonstrates high ductility, allowing installed piping to accommodate severe ground movement, seismic settlement, and bending.
- ESCR F10 (> 1000 hrs) & FNCT (> 120 hrs): Validates resistance to stress cracking and notch sensitivity under sustained internal pressure.
- High Tensile Impact Strength (167 kJ/m²): Ensures reliable performance against water hammer, hydraulic surges, and sub-zero installation shocks.
- Oxidation Induction Time (> 30 min) & Vicat (126 °C): Confirms thermal-oxidative stability during high-temperature melt processing and long-term service.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the technical distinction between PE80 and PE80+?
The “+” designation denotes performance exceeding standard PE80 minimum criteria. HEX4460 PE80+ exhibits superior resistance to Slow Crack Growth (SCG) and Rapid Crack Propagation (RCP), enabling enhanced pressure handling and extended service margins in demanding operational environments.

Why is 1-hexene comonomer incorporated in this grade?
Incorporating 1-hexene (C6) instead of 1-butene (C4) generates longer, more robust tie-molecule chains in the amorphous regions between polymer crystals. This molecular architecture provides higher resistance to stress cracking (ESCR) and fatigue under hydrostatic loads.
